show of the Philadelphia Kennel Club very good opportunities 

 will present themselves to exhibitors wishing to dispose of 

 field dogs, as the time will be so short before the shooting 

 season opens, when setters and pointers will he in demand, 

 and well-bred non-sporting docs, especially collies, will be in- 

 quired for by the farmer visitor to the State Fail - . Homo. 



ENGLISH KENNEL NOTES. 



'""IVT D0G S," murmured discontentedly the multitudes on 



JLi Epsom Downs last week, assembled to witness the 

 classic race, The regularity of his appearance has led holiday- 

 makers to expect him, As'soon as the course has been cleared 

 by the police for the great race, and the green streak that 

 divides the vast crowd is visible, then we expect "his coming' 

 and look blighter when he co*nes," and this year tve regarded 

 it as bad omen that "the Derby Is falling "off," and that no 

 frightened mongrel tore madly along, wildly seeking a spot 

 to hide himself from the exultant cheers of recognition that 

 noisely hail his appearance. Of course, we all lost our money 

 in consequence, and Lillibulero hadn't even the decency to 

 start. Perhaps the "Derby dog'' knew something — perhaps 

 he anticipated the cold reception of the invalid that won. As 

 I sat after the race dangling mv legs over the side of the coach, 

 vainlv hammering my disappointment od a lobster-claw that 

 would not break, and beard the remarks, "Sir John is a 

 hot 'un;" "So is the Captain;" "How does Plunger Walton Ike 

 it?" I thought the dog displayed his intelligence in not com- 

 ing on "in that scene." But the dear old dog was there for 

 the Oaks and urged his wild career and brought back the 

 backers' 1 uc !■;. 



News reaches me the York show turned out better than 

 expected ; the entries, I beheve, numbered about seven hun- 

 dred, The judging took place on Saturday. Among the 

 judges is Mr. IJuch Dalziel, who is, 1 believe, within the recol- 

 lection of New Yorkers from the tune ho judged in their city. 

 I think Dr. Gordon Stables was his colleague on that occasion. 

 I don't know how true it is, but I have heard that the latter 

 gentleman offered to officiate on that occasion in "Highland 

 costume," if the promoters of the show thought it would im- 

 prove the "gate". I doubt not Sir Hugh was highly indignant 

 at the suggestion, as he also hails from the "land of cakes." 



Hugh Dalziel (pronounced Dl. simply the first and last 

 letters of the name, in Scotland) is the giant of our uoggy 

 press. He towers above all our scribblers in knowledge of the 

 subject and ability to treat it. His specialist knowledge of 

 medicine makes his advice on doggy ailments the best obtain- 

 able and gets subscribers for the Bazaar who apply to him 

 through the corresponcence column for gratis advice. 



His writings are clear and concise, every idea is plainly ex- 

 pressed and. each argument as he writes it is hammered in 

 with rugged Carl vlese English. He has a broad, hard-hitting 

 style devoid of flowery decoration. He "shoots folly as it 

 flies" with cannon balls. He is essentially the free lance of 

 journalism and it is owing to his blunt candor that he is not 

 now sitting on the soft cushion of the Field editorial chair. 



It is his misfortune that in his frequent tirades against 

 abuses, prejudice and ignorance, that friends often receive 

 some of the indiscriminate blows that he freely rains about 

 him. Iu his last fight, the "Lochinvar" case in the Field) he 

 has maintained his reputation, and though the editor of that 

 paper threw his fighting weight in the scale of his opponents, 

 yet the impartial reader has seen that Mr. DaJziel has made 

 out a very unpleasant case against the Hertford committee's 

 fairness, Mr. Murchi son's idea of duty toward one neighbor 

 and Kennel Club justice. 



Years back Mr.' Dalziel wrote for the defunct Country, but 

 he is permanently attached to no paper at present, though 

 notes and letters 'signed "Corsincon" frequently appeal- in the 

 Stock Keeper. Kennel Rev>eiu, Scottish Fancier, Livestock, etc. 

 He was one of the foimders of the Dandie Dinmont Club and 

 his heart has ever been brae to that breed. He is an excellent 

 judge of all breeds of terriers. I should sum up his character 

 as "an aggressively honest hard-hitter,'' 



The English exhibitors at the Antwerp show did remarkably 

 well. Mr. Lort judged the English classes, nut as he was 

 absent on the second day the reporters of the Live Slock Jour 

 nal (Mr. Gresharu) and Shooting Times (Mr. Langdale) were 

 called in to conclude his duties. The first named, I hear, ex- 

 hilarated by the prominence, forgot that suaviter in modo 

 should not be left at homo when traveling. The English ken- 

 nels present were chiefly represented by their "second strings," 

 though perhaps that expression is not fair to Mr Edwin 

 Nicholl's exhibits, among which was his grand bloodhound. 

 Triumph, who appropriately enough won the St. Hubert prize 

 of the St. Hubert Club. Jt must have been with a pang of 

 regret that the Dutchmen saw him return to England. Mr. 

 Alfred George, brought away several prizes. 



The Paris show is now oh and I hear the numerous packs 

 make a fine sight in the Gardens of the Tuileries. They are. 

 attended by the huntsmen, who wake up the neighborhood 

 each morning with the music of their curly brass horns. These 

 gentlemen are wonderfully got up and their gaudy liveries put 

 even the fierce Chasseurs (VAfrique out of countenance. I 

 don't think many Englishmen have considered it "good 

 enough" to go over, for the show is dreadfully organized. It 

 ought to be otherwise. There are sportsmen in France who 

 could do it better if they got the chance. There is Ernest 

 Bellecroix, for instance, editor of the Cliasse rdustree, and 

 lately elected a member of the Kennel Cub, surely he might 

 induce the Kennel Club to assist him with advice. Why do 

 they not invite Mr Lewis Clement, proprietor of the Shooting 

 Times, to help them? His French is so good that he speaks 

 English with a Gallic accent, his varied experience in dogs and 

 dog shows, acqui'ed riu'-ing his engagements as kennel re- 

 porter on the Fvld and BelVs Life, would be of invaluable as- 

 sistance. ' 'Barkis is willin'," I am sure, and no one would be 

 more in his element in the gay metropolis than the volatile 

 "Wildfowler." At present the Paris show is exclusively 

 patronized bv mastei s of hounds and dog dealers, but give us 

 a go d schedule and reliable judges and we shah not neglect 

 the opportunity to show them the best. The time is favorable 

 enDu;h, Aufceuil races on Sunday, dog show all the week, and 

 the Grand Prix to conclude with ; there's a programme to stir 

 the blood, though one's she do sit "cut in alabaster." Even 

 these gay Londoners would leave their "Empire" and "Health- 

 eries" for the "Eden" and "Bignon's." 



Mr. Lewis Clement is not a man to lean against a tree and 

 watch the sundial; there is a lot of enterprise in his little 

 paper, the Shooting limes, and it contains an announcement 

 this week that has knocked the breath out of the quiet old 

 bodies in the Strand, Fleet street and Hampstead Road. 



In future subscribers can advertise dons for sale gratis. At 

 first sight it loot- s two to one on the subscriber, but it would 

 not do to imagine that ' 'Wildfowler" had not a bit up his 

 sleeve; besides, the plan is an old one on the Continent, and if 

 it pays there it may have a like chance here. I shall open next 

 week's number with amused expectation. 



I get the Shooting Times regularly, and having met the 

 owner at one or two shown, I am able to appreciate his large 

 personal share in its columns. I believe the paper has passed 

 through the troubled waters which everybody who starts a 

 newspaper must expect to meet, Mr. Clement first became 

 familiar to sporting readers for his punting articles under the 

 nom de plume of "Wildfowler" in the columns of BelCs Life, 

 He left them to goon the Field. He did their dog-show re- 

 ports, and quite the best of the kind I have always considered 

 them. He wrote the report on the bloodhound Napier, which 

 brought a libel ease down on the Field, '"Wildfowler" has 

 more than the courage of his opinions, he has the impudence 

 of them; sometimes, of course, he is wrong, and the Napier 

 case was one of them, I think. 



While engaged on the Field staff he dirl a very large busi- 

 ness ia dogs, and this it was that brought him into conflict 



with the autocrat of the paper. Dr. Walsh, who put the alter 

 native plainly, "Give up the Field or the dogs." He gave up 

 the Field, went to the dogs and started the Shooting Tim-es, 

 and Vero Shaw reigned in his stead. The staff of the paper 

 is a small one, it consists of the editor, himself; a racing 

 editor, Mr. Bromhead, of the Sporting Mirror, who writes as 

 Diomed; a gentleman who combines leader writer, dramatic 

 critic and poet, Mr. W. Pooklington, and a reporter, Mr. Lang- 

 dale, who was once among the exhibitors as a spaniel man. 



We are all much interested in the Paris savant's discoveries, 

 and if Mons. Pasteur's commission of inquiry really decide that 

 he has found out a cure for that terrible malady, hydropho- 

 bia, no honor in the French Government's power will be too 

 great to offer such a benefactor of humanity. I am promised 

 a complete copy of Mons. Pasteur's report, and if I get it will 

 forward it to the editor 



Some notes from York show have just reached me. None 

 of the cracks turned up In the bloodhound class. Crown 

 Princess Was champion in the mastiffs, in open dogs Prince, 

 Surajah and Commodore won, and Cleopatria, Ilford Claudia 

 and llfoi d Charity in bitches. 



In St. Bernards the prize winners were Glacier, Courage II, , 

 and Storm-King ; bitches, Cloister, Crevasse H. and Khiva. 

 Mr. Goodwin's new purchase, Silver King, by Hermit, won in 

 puppies. The winner of the tield trial pointer class was Mr. 

 No i rish's champion Graphic, and for the setter prize there 

 was a tie between Mr, H. F. Grant's Junior Carlton and Mr. 

 Bower's Bessie IV. The Duke of Portland did some winning 

 with his spaniels, and Mr. Easten's team also won in their 

 own classes. Collies were a good show, Mr John Pirie getting 

 first and third in open dogs and pups with two litter brothers 

 by Eclipse, a half sister to Echpse, Mistress Beatrix, won in 

 bitches. In the basset classes all the winners came from one 

 kennel and the cup went there too. Mrs. Merrick Hoare's 

 large entry won several prizes in dachshunde.

RETRIEVER CHALLENGE— itazfor Forest and Stream: 

 I hereby challenge Mr. Luke W. White to compete with his 

 Grace against my Fritz in retrieving anywhere in New Eng- 

 land the coming fall, the same to be judged by any one not 

 prejudiced against a trick dog. Mr. White says Mr. J. R. Per- 

 son told him that "Grace could not be beat," I would be 

 pleased to have Mr. Pierson judge them, intelligence, obedi- 

 ence, style, delicacy, to be considered. The following to be 

 used: Tissue balloons, pins, eggs, men, live or dead birds 

 (game or other buds), on land, water, or under w r ater, I claim 

 Fritz will retrieve any bird named that is thrown out, if there 

 are twenty kinds, and will do it blindfolded. Also retrieve 

 two small birds at once. If Mt. White does not accept this 

 challenge, it is open to any one, and barring no breed of dogs. 

 —A. C, Collins (Hartford, Conn., June 10). 



DOGS ATTRACT LIGHTNING— Richard Lowe and bis 

 men hurried into his barn at Neshanic, N. J., when t e shower 

 came up last Friday afternoon, and an old shepherd dog ran 

 in after them. "Dogs attract lightning," said Mr. Lowe, anx- 

 iously, "and we had better leave." The words had hardly 

 escaped his lips when a thunderbolt killed the dog. None of 

 the men was injured.— Sun. 



YORK ROYAL.— We have received from one of our regular 

 English correspondents a report of the York Royal Dog Show. 

 It will be printed next week.

BUFFALO, June 6.— At the meeting of ihe Audubons this evening, 

 nothing was done about the State ..hoot. The arrangements are at a 

 stand for the present by reason <. f the scarcity of pigeons. The club 

 will wait until the latter part of next month and w atch for the nest- 

 in c- ground of the flock of young birds. If , by that time, the club 

 finds there is no prospect of getting enough birds for the tournament 

 they will discuss tne feasibility of using clay-pigeons.
